You are assigned to operate a drinking water treatment plant which has a capacity of 280 ML per day. If 5% of total raw water influent was used for filter backwashing without recycling and another 5% was lost due to sludge discharge and chlorine needs to be dosed is at 1 mg L-1 for the water after treatment, calculate the mass of chlorine that needs to be dosed each day at the treatment plant.

You are assigned to operate a drinking water treatment plant which has a capacity of 280 ML per day. The source water is from a river that contains a high concentration of dissolved organic carbon (DOC), (13 mg L-1) and has a high colour (60 HU) but where the alkalinity changes seasonally. In summer to winter the alkalinity is high (> 100 mg L-1 as CaCO3) and in spring after snow has melted in the mountains and the water flows...
A wastewater treatment plant that treats wastewater to secondary treatment standards uses a primary sedimentation process followed by conventional activated sludge process composed of covered aeration tanks and secondary clarifiers. You are asked to calculate the different operation parameters to make sure that the system is operated within normal process ranges listed in the reference tables below. Table 5-20 Typical design information for primary sedimentation tanks U.S. customary units Item Unit Range Typical Primary sedimentation tanks followed by secondary treatment...
Sanitary & environment engineering (5 mark) C/ Estimate the total sludge production from waste water treatment plant to treat 1000 mº/day with influent BOD of 210 mg/l and SS of 260 mg/1, assume that primary clarifier remove 30% of BOD and 60% of SS. (15 mark)
A water treatment plant operator treats 5 million gallons per day (MGD) of a raw surface water with 25 mg/L of Aluminum Sulfate (Al2(SO4)3•16H2O) to remove suspended solids in the water. The untreated water contains 20mg/L total suspended solids (TSS). Assuming that the alum removes all but 2 mg/L TSS, determine the weight of sludge which must be removed each day. Assume: - All of the added aluminum sulfate is converted to its solid hydroxide form (Al(OH)3) and captured in...
A model town with a population of 100000 people has a drinking water treatment plant. As an engineer, you are asked to design a sand filter system for the town. Determining: a) the total area of the filter, b) how many filter cells are needed if each filter cell has an area of 30 m2, c) depth of the sand, d) filtration rate, e) backwash rate if a rotary-jet-type surface wash is used, and f) the quantity of treated water...
21 Points]) A water tre of vari Water treatment plant needs to soften water containing the below concentration e. Assume the pH is near neutral and that the flowrate is 1.7 MGD (million ous constituents gallons per day). Determine: a) the total hardness (mg/L as CaCO.) b) the total alkalinity (mg/L as CaCO3) c) b ased on the i on balance, does the analysis appear to be missing some ions? ay the total amount of sludge (CaCOs and Mg(OH)2) produced...
[3 pts] A water treatment plant consists of coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation, filtration and disinfection. The suspended solids concentration in the raw water coming into the plant is 500 mg/L and the plant treats 8 MGD. Alum (Al2(S04)3 14H20) is used as a coagulant with a dose of 50 mg/L. Compute the total solid sludge produced daily if a complete reaction of alum to aluminum hydroxide (Al(OH)3] occurs and 98% total solids are removed by the sedimentation and filtration steps. The...
A wastewater treatment plant, which serves a population of 300,000 people, receives an average daily volume of 24 million gallons per day (MGD) at an average influent 5-day biochemical oxygen demand concentration of 200 mgBODs/L and an average influent total suspended solids concentration of 220 mgTSS/L. The plant operates a primary sedimentation process that remove 65% of the incoming TSS and 35% of the incoming BOD %. This process is followed by a secondary treatment process before discharge to the...
b. A water treatment plant is to process water to a population of 150000 The following data are furnished to facilitate the design of the rapid sand filter units Average day demand 300 L/cap.d 24h Assume that the maximum day demand 1.5 times the average Number of filter units Rate of filtration: Length: Maximum lateral travel of washwater not to exceed 1 m Rate of backwash: Desirable sand bed expansion: 40% Washwater tank capacity: to wash two filters for 5...
You have collected water samples of the influent (raw sewage) and effluent (treated sewage) at Houston Wastewater Treatment Plant. You plan to conduct the BOD5 test to determine the BOD rate constant, k. A. Would you expect the rate constants to be the same or different in these two samples? If different, which would be higher and why? B. If the BOD5 for the raw sewage sample is 600 mg/L, and the ultimate BOD is 650 mg/L at 20oC, find...
